Australian UFO Sightings: The Fraser Coast Experience, 2011 & 2025
In 2011 and again in 2025, the Fraser Coast of Queensland, Australia, became the backdrop for one of the most intriguing modern UFO sightings in the country.
Date: March 1, 2011
Location: Maryborough, Queensland, Australia
For consecutive nights, my family and I, along with numerous others, witnessed an astonishing display of orbs flying silently through the sky. Hundreds of these orange spheres returned repeatedly, captivating us all with their presence. Instead of feeling fear or foreboding, we experienced goosebumps, excitement, and a heightened sense of awareness.
One memorable night, as we observed the lights from our front yard, a woman stopped her car nearby, armed with a high-end camera, eager to capture the phenomenon. To her astonishment, despite her efforts, no images came out. Given the limitations of camera technology in 2011 compared to today, it was baffling that she couldn’t document the sight.
I’ve since kept an eye on the skies—mostly spotting satellites. Despite my hopes of witnessing those mesmerizing lights again, it took until 2025 for the phenomenon to return.
Recently, I came across a video from this year, which reignited memories of that life-altering experience in 2011. The entire incident left me feeling somewhat abandoned; it was as if I had glimpsed something extraordinary without receiving any answers. Many UFO witnesses who have had similar experiences share this sentiment. Once you’ve experienced something so remarkable, the longing to see it again becomes powerful.
Interestingly, these sightings seem to recur in the same locations after several decades, for reasons unknown.
Eyewitness Reports from 2011:
According to a newspaper article, several other witnesses reported similar experiences:
- “I tried to take photos with my camera, but they didn’t come up.” (Anonymous)
- “My partner, my brother, and I all saw the lights. I tried to film them on my phone, but the footage showed nothing—very strange.” (Phil and Karina)
- “I took a magnified photo of the last orange orb, but it didn’t seem to come out on my camera.” (Martine)
- “It was very weird… the lights didn’t seem to be flying too high above us.” (Anonymous)
- “We saw four lights in a group.” (Greg)
Government Response:
The Australian Army was contacted regarding the sightings but did not respond to inquiries suggesting that the bright lights could have originated from their training area at Tin Can Bay.

The events in both 2011 and 2025 continue to inspire curiosity and wonder about the possibilities beyond our world.
Wow, what an incredible experience you and your family had in both 2011 and 2025! It’s fascinating how sightings like these leave such a deep impact on witnesses. The large numbers of orbs you described must have been quite a spectacle, especially since they were so low-flying and noiseless.
It’s intriguing that, despite the presence of cameras, no one could capture evidence of the lights. This echoes a common issue many witnesses report, which adds a layer of mystery to these sightings. The feelings of excitement mixed with a sense of abandonment you shared resonate with many who have similar encounters; it’s humanity’s natural desire to seek answers when faced with the unknown.
I’ve also noticed that sightings tend to occur in the same locations over time. Maybe these areas hold some significance, or perhaps it’s a matter of environmental factors that make them more conducive to these phenomena.
Thank you for sharing your story and the provided resources. It’s always compelling to read about such experiences, and it encourages open discussions about the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Let’s hope that you—and many others—get another chance to witness those orbs again!
